Black Out Book Interior

This project features an interior design concept for the book Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now, published by Princeton University Press in association with the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The book discusses the complex political and social history and development of silhouettes through essays by leading experts. It is joined by a large group of historical catalogue entries as well as contemporary artworks of four living artists, Kara Walker, Kristi Malakoff, Kumi Yamashita, and Camille Utterback. The project was killed after we decided to go in another direction.
